The Susan Novak Diaries

[Ryme]

Susan Novak here. Researcher, teacher, friend of heroes. This is just a small sampling of the 413 messages I found when I checked my long-lost Twilight mailbox today. It appears that I've had a much larger influence on the heroic community than I had ever realized, due entirely to my 77 Habits of Highly Effective Heroes manual.

Thank You! you'll need this in your journey
Included item: ubiquitous chainsaw (quantity 1)

Thanks, that should help characters to not suck as much. =D

Thank you very much Dr. Novak, I really enjoyed the read.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly at this address with any suspicious activities you may observe that goes on at the University, or in general.
It was quite a pleasure meeting you, and I hope that we may work together again.
A la prochein,

Thank You for the book. I found it to be quite enlightening.

your friend,
elusive

enclosed is a flyer from the day we met.
Included item: outraged political flyer (quantity 1)

Dr. Novak,
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful present! Due to your generosity, I have learned the art of heroic efficiency. I am now able to fight more crime in less time! Please accept these autographed kneepads as a token of thanks.
Yours truly,
Derek Montgomery

dear Susan Novak,
I want to thank you for the lovly book you gave me, it was very thouhtful and kind of you and i enjoyed it very much .
lots of love.
Turboboy.

Thanks, you are a lovely NPC.

Have this lovely dyed pajamas.

Susan Novak, thank you for your assistance in dealing with the riot and for the copy of _77 Habits of Highly Effective Heroes_. Your insights have certainly made the world a better place.

Also, sorry about the hostility when we first met; I was a bit on edge for what seem to be obvious reasons. I assume you aready know about the emotion projector responsible for the riots, but if not I'd be glad to fill you in on the details that I'm aware of.

Thanks for the book, hopefully I can put it to some good use.
Oh, fancy meeting dor sinner fometime, err for dinner sometime? (Damn those sewers).

thank you very much

got anything else?

Thankyou for that most instructive manual. By highlighting, isloating and even ignoring my internal flaws, i have managed to delve deeper into my alter ego and heroic persona, as well as become more efficient in regards to time management (giving me more vital minutes per day to spend sewing up holes on my costume). So thankyou once again

Thanks - any idea where I can find the Mick?

Thank you for your pamphlet; I've found it very useful. I'm looking for more leads now, and any would be helpful. Cleaning up the streets with violence alone is a tough job; I'm glad to have someone to secretly slip me some information or help now and again.

do u play KoL? if so ill will sort you out on there as i have a good person on it

[Ryme]

This is not to encourage more of these, really, as logging in to an account with 400 messages takes forever, and I don't like the idea that it's sort of wasting resources. Still, some of the entries have been entertaining and I wanted to share. More to come, when I get the chance.

[Carygon Nijax]

so did I

[Ryme]

From the "are you real or are you a bot" files, and also the "I don't actually read game narrative" collection. Kept anonymous for various reasons:

Oh hey, thanks. Have I seen you in chat?

Although you are probably quite fictional, I still want to thank you for your book. I read it and it has helped me greatly!

Thanks a lot, Twilight character who probably won't actually read this! I really appreciate it, and all your scare quotes.

have we met?

I'm guessing this is an auto message

Unaware if you exist or not. I suppose that's the metaphysical conundrum of those that run around in their underpants.

thank you, why did you send me this? i'm grateful and all, but still...
anyway i dont have much bu here, goodwill and all that. Included item: cup of coffee

admin controlled npc? or a programmed response to turning level 6? im think the latter, regardless thank you anyway.

Um.... who are you anyway?

huh? who is this?

what the heck?

Thank You to what do i owe the pleasure?

I wonder who gets this message

ty npc

Thanks a lot. I don't know if you're the real character or just someone pretending to be, but whoever you are, thanks a lot! It was a lot of help. Here's 50 chips for thanks. I'd give more, but I'm saving for a level up right now, so I need all the chips I can get. Thanks, anyway, and I included a bonus item too.
You were sent: 50 chips

Have some coffee, even NPCs enjoy coffee don't they?
Of course I personally hate coffee, wait why am i talking to a computer... does that mean I'm talking to myself? Oh god.... I should shut up now.
You were sent: 1 chips
Included item: fancy latte (quantity 1)

Thank you for your consideration. No offense, but I didn't think you were real. (part of the story. Can I give you anything for the book?

Your real player or mashine?

wow ! thank you. i had no idea you were a actual player ! thats very cool. thank you again

Thank you sooooo much for that book! Wow, I actually thought you were just another character in the game, I didnt realize you were a real person! I feel like such a n00b! Since you sent me something, can you make use of a digital voice recorder? I dont think Im going to need it. Just let me know! Thank again!

[Carygon Nijax]

Was any of those mine?

[Ryme]

From the "there's a thousand different ways to say thank you but only one way to say 'I was wrong'" files:

Susan, thanks for the book, it was a great read and I'll definitely benefit from it. I wish there was a way I could repay your kindness, but alas, I am poorer than a college student after spring break. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. MrDolomite.

Umm... thanks. When I find something suitable, I'll return the favor.

Note: no favor was ever returned. Perhaps they're still looking for something suitable.

Howdy Susan,
Thanks for the Manual, it's left my face supernaturally smooth and in half the time too! Oh, and saves me a lot of time when doing "errands". I found this interesting pearl. It seems to give you a mental boost just by holding it. Thought you'd be interested. Got to go, have a good one!

THANKS 4 THE ITEM.

Tnhanks for the tips

Thanks, Susan! As a beginning hero, unfortunately I don't have much of value to offer in return except my gratitude and a promise someday soon to reciprocate.

Thank you very much, Susan! This information really helped me out in learning how to get things done faster and gives me more time to fight crime!

Hi. Nice to hear from you again. thanks for the help. just got my first computer installed in my lab. *smiles* How is it going? Thanks again for your help. let me know if i might be able to help you some time.

[Harry Dresden]

thank you for the book, Susan Novak, IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME

Valera?

[Corrupt Shadow]

Are these real? Why do people message a NPC?

[Satan]

They are unsure if it is an NPC, or not paying attention.

[Ryme]

All of these were sent, yes. Whether or not they're serious, joking, hopeful, or somewhere in between, I can't say for many of them.

[Carygon Nijax]

Hey!! some of us just like sitting and tlaking to machines or bots

[AldenteVonTino]

I know for sure I sent off one!
I seriously thought it was an actual part of the program and figured if I sent a reply, something else might happen!
(I haven't seen mine yet! I sent a blessing!)

[Carygon Nijax]

I've seen mine!!.. or I think I did xD

[Muhandes]

I loled at the one by Doctor Manhattan

[AldenteVonTino]

Mr Q here, with yet another question.
Of the 675 posted members of this forum, how many are actually in possession of only one account?
Curiosity all but demands to know, but if there's no way to tell (for sure) then oh well.
Figured with the multiple replies you've received, there might be a way to tell?

[Corrupt Shadow]

<--- One account only.

[blackmatter615]

I wonder how often ryme checks this account, and if there are more that belong here now...

[Sanjuro]

I forgot how much fun those were to read.

Ryme, if I send the appropriate number of chips to the #21 account, could you put all the gifts in a Memento Display?

[Ryme]

It's been a while. i'll have to see if there are any more. Last thing I want to do is manage a memento display, though.

[Harry Dresden]

You could always have Cris or someone do it for you. That's what minions are for!

[Muhandes]

As Susan doesn't send that message any more I doubt more will be sent

[zyborg]

I've sent her cosmic crystals, thinking that she would be interested in them. Of course, I knew she was an NPC, but... I guess I felt like roleplaying.

**hands zyborg one hundred points for roleplaying**
Go you! Ta-heck-in-a-hand-basket to whomever has something against imagination!
